Which way to point your antenna in Weimar
Point your antenna SSW, at about 199°. The main network towers for Weimar sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KVCT and KAVU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 63 miles south of Weimar (199° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
KAVU-TV (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Weimar. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Weimar
The farthest main network tower for Weimar is KAVU-TV (ABC), 63 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Weimar: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 199° SSW, the direction of KAVU-TV (ABC), 63 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
